I have been looking everywhere trying to find a shop or someone that has the specs/template for the life jacket storage bag above the console on the ttop for my 266. Has anyone had one made? Where can I get one? I know this has been addressed on other forums but I never see it get answered.

Were you the guy that recently posted on FB? As I recall, there was a conversation somewhere, either here, the old sailfish site, or on THT where the OEM for these was a place in Jacksonville, and they still have all the old templates. I would like to get mine redone too. Pic from FB.

Yes that was me. I remember seeing a post in the old forum years ago. Maybe someone will remember the name of the shop. Yes that is exactly what I’m looking for

I just finished taking the t-top fabric and Phifertex life jacket storage net off my 218 to get replaced. I'm in Jax but didn't get a quote from Custom Marine as they are typically high on everything. I think the quote from Mousa's Auto and Marine Interiors here was about $140-$150 if I take the old one to him to use as a pattern and I reinstall it myself. I'm taking him the top for a new Weblon 2-color top, life jacket net and a storage bag for my console side Eisenglass tomorrow, and can confirm price.
I'm not sure if Custom Marine did the original on my t-top. If so, they used plated brass grommets. The plating is gone and the brass is stained and looks like he!!. There's a guy on THT that is a smidge less expensive, but he also used plated grommets. Mousa uses stainless steel grommets, so going with him.
Let me know what you get from Custom Marine! If they have the template, that would save you the hassle of sending in the old one for a pattern.

The problem I have is I don’t have the old life jacket storage net. I need to find a shop that has a template or someone with an old one to have it made. Does yours look the same as the one in the picture? I may call the shop there and have another on made using your old one as a template

Our T-Top dimensions are probably different, but I would think they could modify proportionately. Check your width and length between aluminum rails where it goes and we can compare. My Phifertex is 36" long x 34-1/2" wide with a P-shaped plastic piece in front that slides into an aluminum track on the T-Top, and 20 grommets along the rear half where the crescent-shaped nylon zipper opens for access.

Nope Definitely different. I am much wider. I contacted Custom marine and they only go back to 2012 with their templates. The search continues..

I'd think a 2009 2660 bag would work on a 266

I am having a upholstery guy stop by Wednesday to measure and give me a price. He is high on most things but it may be my only option. If anyone else is looking for one he could make more

I might just pull mine down and take it somewhere local. I'm not in a big hurry though, otherwise I would send you a copy of the template or send my old one to you.

Those things are ugly and never fit right. I like the clean look and teh fact they are up and neatly out of the way.
